The owner, Mme de Cosse Brissac is charming (but does not speak English). She gave us good advice about restaurants and things to see. The location was idyllic - very rural. Accommodation comfortable and the lounge spacious. Good for those who wanted just to sit in the sun and read but also for those who wanted to explore chateaux of the Loire. Not too far to a good local supermarket, excellent selection of boulangeries (bakers) for the morning croissants and pains au chocolat. We would love to go back there. July 2011.

Absolutely superb location. June 2011.

We wanted to use the property as a fishing base, but you have at least a 150 metres of bank to fish from, probably much more, and many swims cut out for landing catfish, so we didn’t have to drive anywhere. A big supermarket close by for all your shopping needs, overall a fantastic property. June 2009.

It is impossible to describe adequately the fantastically good setting of the property. The location is amazing and this made up for many of the shortcomings of the actual building. July 2009.

There is something glorious about the panoramic view from this property, overlooking the river Loire and...

The house is in a beautiful setting and the owners were friendly and welcoming. Our daughters made good use of the splendid pool. There are plenty of bike rides from the door and so many sights to visit. The village itself is very pretty with it’s own chateau and some good places to eat. July 2012.

The property offers an excellent standard of accomodation. Well located with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. Equipped to a high standard and plenty of space to relax. Hosts were friendly and welcoming, but respected our privacy throughout. July 2011.

Very helpful owners who gave us a tour of the local troglodyte caves. Superb view from the garden. July 2011.

This property is the best I have stayed in France. From the moment we arrived the delightful hosts,the owners made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The house has everything you need but its the gardens and the pool that really make this property. The views across the Loire are magnificent and it is central to all vineyards, chateaux and all other attractions in the region. The village of Montsoreau is a beautiful little place and has everything you could need. The Tabac and the P’tit Bar are the best places to eat. There is a boulangerie, Boucherie and Epicerie. Watch out for the Lunchtime closing!! Altogether, (2 adults and 3 small children) we had a wonderful holiday and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this place to anyone and visiting again. May 2011.

The house was beautiful. The lounge isn’t very large, but we sat outdoors all the time anyway. The kitchen was adequate. Bedrooms are superb. Beautiful views and pool. Sept 2009.

Beautifully presented house and grounds with delightful hosts. The swimming pool in particular was the highlight of the holiday for the children and for us the property was so very peaceful and relaxing. July 2008.

Very helpful hosts. Excellent location with good views over the Loire river and village. As well as the cottage we very much liked the swimming pool and gardens. July 2007.

Fabulous house in quiet and peaceful location. Very friendly and welcoming owners. Interesting visits to chateaux and Le Mans Race Track. July 2012.

A fantastic property with excellent hosts. July 2011.

What an amazing ’gites’ - we had a wonderful week in such glorious surroundings (both the house and the area) and wished we could stay longer. Such a perfect spot, we would go there annually if we didn’t live in Australia! July 2011.

The location and the facilities coupled with the warm welcome of the owners make this an exceptional property for either two families or in our case - 6 adults. June 2011.

Beautiful house set in the grounds of a chateau. What made this holiday really special were the hosts of the property who were charming and invited us in to look at their private chateau and wine cellars. April 2011.

Lovely house in beautiful surroundings. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around and we all loved the pool. It was a great place for relaxing, close to a good bakery and supermarket (5/10 mins drive to both). Some lovely places to visit within about an hours drive. All in all a great spot. July 2010.

Spacious and clean. May 2010.

A beautifully converted property with exposed beams and high ceilings. Cool on the hottest days. Magnificent setting amongst the woods and gardens with a large pool to cool off in. Aug 2009.

This is our 3rd visit to the property and we hope to return again next year! The hosts could not do enough for us and our children. The house, swimming pool and grounds are immaculate! Aug 2007.

We stayed here for two weeks in August 2010, as two families of four. The accommodation was ideal and spacious (the pictures on the website are out of date as the walls have been knocked through to make more space). We had great fun in the pool and playing table tennis and badminton at the house & went to the nearby swimming lakes at Lavare and La Ferte Bernard for many activities. Enjoyed lots of sporting events - ladies’ Tour de France, football and racing at Le Mans - and sightseeing at Troo, Le Mans and Chateaudun. Enjoyed meals at the Auberge de la Foret in Vibraye (visited twice) and Montmirail. 7th Aug 2010

Lovely pool and patio. We came home totally relaxed and refreshed.

The property is well-located in quiet countryside with convenient villages nearby for essentials. It is within range of a day out in Paris (or Euro Disney), as well as easy access into the Loire Valley. A few euros on a new set of crockery and glasses would be a welcome addition. April 2012.

It’s a beautiful building, with plenty of room and a fantastic pool. It does need a bit of TLC, particularly the bathrooms could do with a renovation. We also had an ant infestation in our en-suite bathroom, but apart from that everything else was perfect. June 2009.

Fantastic rustic French chateau that was precisely what we were hoping for when we booked it as a group of couples. The grounds were stunning and well kept with an amazing lake/pond that you could take a boat out on as well as a nice pool. The caretaker was lovely and helpful at all times. Overall it was a memorable holiday to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we would definitely return. May 2009.

It is an amazing place. The grounds are beautiful - wild flower meadows, thyme-covered lawns, kingfishers on the lake.... The property was great. For anyone who wants a true chateau experience it is perfect. Aug 2008.

Excellent grounds, swimming pool, tennis and fishing lake. Local walking and cycling very good. June 2008.
